PUTNAM — On June 5, the 65th Annual Putnam High School Alumni Athletic Association Banquet took place. Thirty-one athletes from 15 sports teams received awards.
On June 7 at the annual Award and Scholarship night, 56 scholarships totaling over $99,100 were awarded to 25 students. William Hull, Putnam superintendent, said: “These events are always fantastic! Both evenings are a wonderful culmination of our seniors’ hard work as well as their high school careers. What makes these evenings more special is the number of alumni that came back to the high school community and contributed. Both evenings could not take place without these wonderful alumni. They make Putnam special. I would also like to thank all the organizations and families generosity and support for our students. On behalf of the entire Putnam community and Putnam Public Schools, I would like to congratulate all the recipients”
